21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has a patchy profile but he justified support when bouncing back with a strong-finishing win here (1m4f) last month; up 4lb but that was a cosy success and the form has been boosted by the runner-up since; interesting contender. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 1m novice at Kempton in September 2023 but 0-10 in handicaps since; did catch the eye when third at Kempton (1m3f) back on AW in November but hasn't built on it twice since, finishing remote third at Chelmsford (1m6f) latterly; the return to 1m4f may help but others are more convincing. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Often slowly away but it hasn't prevented her from winning three times on the AW since October (9.4f-1m4f); this trip more suitable than the 1m she tackled at Bath 19 days ago; untried on faster than good. |
8/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-9 since a hood went on, including wins under Ashley Lewis at Wolverhampton (1m4f and 9.4f) on two of her last three starts; unraced over a trip this short since her pre-handicap days and the hood is removed; also unraced on turf since last July and none of her turf form matches this mark. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (1) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded her second win when scoring over 1m4f here last month but she was a well-held fourth in follow-up bid at Southwell on Saturday; has a bit to prove after that and this is a quick turnaround. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins here (1m4f/1m5f) towards the end of last year, which sandwiched a close third of five at Chelmsford on his sole previous crack at 2m; continued in good form over 1m4f here on his last two starts and he's on the shortlist now back up in trip and kept to his favourite venue. |
5/1 |
|
4th 12 (4) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Record here reads 5121312, with two off the wins over this trip; good second of 11 over C&D three weeks ago and no reason why he won't be in the thick of things again. |
100/30 |
|
2 (2) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both of his wins have came over 1m4f at Lingfield; back to form when gaining the second of those wins there nine days ago, for which he now carries a 6lb penalty (2lb wrong); his brother stays this trip, so the extra distance looks worth exploring. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
C&D winner who defied a ten-month absence when making a successful stable debut at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in January, but a rise in the weights seems to have found him out twice since. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (12) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dropped a long way in the weights during a winless spell with Mick Appleby and returned from a ten-month absence to make a winning start for new connections over C&D in January; had a bit up his sleeve that day and a subsequent defeat over 1m4f probably shouldn't be taken as evidence the handicapper has him as he was still in front entering the final furlong; player back at 1m3f. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Outsider of four when belatedly doubling his tally at Southwell last April (1m3f); hit the frame last two starts (1m2f) but not sure dropping back to 1m will see him play a bigger role this evening; Penfolds Grange looks connections' best hope. |
20/1 |

4th 10 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
On a losing run and he's yet to hit top form this season, going keenly when a fading fourth of 11 over C&D in February; needs to take a step forward. |

9st 10lb |
Won three times here (1m/1m2f) before his spell in Ireland and showed the ability remains when third of ten over 1m2f at this course last month; only sixth back here again since, though. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

8st 10lb |
Saw off 14 rivals when narrowly winning over C&D last month (Class 6); also went close in a Class 6 at Leicester this month but either side of that he was unplaced in Class 5 events; others preferred for the win. |
4/1 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Battled well for narrow win at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; respected in current form. |

Dual C&D winner; has slipped to 6lb below his last winning mark (1m4f, Lingfield) and wasn't beaten far when having the run of the race under Rose Dawes at Wolverhampton (1m4f; third of seven, 7-2) last week; foolish to discount. |

Maiden; respectable fifth over 1m3f at Kempton 17 days ago but Sonnerie Power and Voix De Bocelli were ahead of him; first-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are now replaced by blinkers. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Seven-race maiden; showed broadly progressive form as a 2yo but has gone the other way this season; may be helped by this drop in grade off a reduced mark. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Suffered a near miss on handicap debut at Kempton (7f) but has finished a well-held sixth in two runs since being gelded and this could be tougher again; what might help is now going beyond 1m, being a son of Ulysses. |

Latest effort when eighth of 11 here (11.5f, good to firm) was comfortably his best for this yard but that still leaves him with work to do. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Showed clear signs of a return to form with fourth-place finish in latest AW start and he is just as effective on turf; possibilities off 1lb below last winning mark. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
